Despite all the hype and hoopla over next-generation consoles with their new features, Sony Computer Entertainment president Andrew House believes the PlayStation 4 is a return to a classic Sony.
The path from the PlayStation 1 to the upcoming PlayStation 5 lines up neatly, but only if you’re looking at it numerically. In actuality, for more than 25 years the PlayStation team has had to navigate some of the industry’s most difficult terrain. During that time, a dedicated team of visionaries, engineers, and software developers established a brand from scratch, propelled it to unprecedented heights, struggled to maintain dominance, and eventually returned to what initially made them so successful.
Andrew House is no longer at Sony, but he still thinks that consoles like the PlayStation 4 have big future ahead of them.
I still remember how the misinformed media tried to push a doom and gloom narrative for the future of consoles at the beginning of the decade
Didn't even notice it earlier but PlayStation already has it's own GAAS as part of it's PSN service model. It's "Free-to-Play" games & "Streaming", ala PSNow as part of it's "Adaptive Monetization ", according to Ex-PlayStation Boss Andrew House.
Consoles have successfully existed for the past 46 years and they’ll successor exist for the next 46 years.
Former Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Andrew House gives an uplifting farewell after stepping down from his position at PlayStation.

I’m really going to miss this guy. Thank you for your help bringing PlayStation to where it is today.
Heck yea :D.
Sony,Sony,Sony.
Awesome!:D
Guys, I want to ask you all something, you know how Capcom were one of the best at making games during the PS1/2 era. Well, since now the PS4 is like the PS1/2 with the easy development and all. Is it possible that they could make a comback since now they can take off a year from the development cycle, less cash to spend and more money to make. Or does great games matter depending on the people working on the game and how skillful they are, etc?
Does this mean they will finally get off their ass and make a Jak & Daxter IV
A fresh of breath air from Sony and the PS4 is born lol
I would love to see a next gen Contra or Double Dragon on PS4, talk about good times those were the games back in the day indeed. But i reallly believe we might see alot of old school games make a comeback this next gen, thanks in part to the PS4 user friendly hardware.
